Thanks, @POTUS, for nominating @JulieSuCA. As President Biden says, Julie is the American Dream. As Julie says, this administration has centered worker power and worker rights. She spent her career fighting for invisible workers and now is just the beginning. Go!

“These workers were supposed to be able to get together without fear of retaliation. .. But companies, including Starbucks, have determined that the penalty for retaliation is minimal – and much more appealing than allowing workers to unionize.” v @greenhousenyt

Black workers at @Tesla in #Buffalo back at @USEEOC describing ongoing systemic racism: “Nine times out of ten, as a Black person, you’re not going to get that job. ..I don’t care if you have more experience than that person, you’re not going to get it.”

"In another instance, a manager sent workers in the solar division home early. One group of employees, who were mostly white, were sent home. Another group, who were mostly Black, had to stay behind." #Tesla #Buffalo @ipostnews

Teaching young minds about “justice” and “equality” is not indoctrination. It is about teaching them the fundamentals about how to “respect” those whose lives are not “privileged.”

Jimmy Carter: Citizens United gives "legal bribery the chance to prevail."
"All the candidates, whether they are honest or not, or whether they are Democratic or Republican, depend on these massive infusions of money from very rich people in order to have money to campaign."

We’re angry. But this won’t slow us down or stop us. They want us to be scared, but they just started a stampede. These firings are the exact reason why we need a union @tesla. We believe we can do this, but more importantly we believe we WILL do this.

BREAKING: Tesla has fired 30 workers at its Buffalo gigafactory, one day after workers there announced a unionization campaign.
Tesla managers announced surprise performance reviews, then fired 8x as many workers as usual.
Tesla is notorious for union-busting.

The much-needed transition to electric vehicles is gaining momentum in the US. To make sure it doesn’t result in large-scale job loss, the Left must fight to strengthen industrial policy and workers’ power. jacobin.com/2022/12/pro-work…

It is not billionaire CEOs who keep this country running. It is the working class. We must never let them forget it.
